Regan is one of my absolute favourite short fiction writers. Her work is consistently incredible, and it's always an honour to get to read and publish it.
In The Dangers of Dreaming by Regan Puckett, two women use dreams to escape their jobs as advertising algorithm testers and lose themselves in the hope and heartbreak they breed. Find this incredible story in Daydreaming of Other Worlds, available now. a.co/d/a09dx1c

For the love of god, if you love flash fiction, read Sisters of the Word by Grace Quon. (All the stories are great, btw). It's one of my favourite stories in the -HOLY CRAP- seven years, I've been doing this. Plus, all proceeds go to Trans Lifeline, which is super important right now.
We are proud to announce the release of Daydreaming of Other Worlds: The 1,000 Word Herd Competition Winners 2025. This collection contains the top 25 stories of the competition, including the winning story, Sisters of the Word by Grace Quon.

My story "Bubbe's Last Kugel" is out today! It took 13th in @tldrpress.bsky.social's Word Herd contest, and was published as part of this anthology. All proceeds go to support Trans Lifeline, so I have no qualms in telling you to go buy it (at least once, maybe a few times)!

We had such a genuinely amazing time reading all of your entries. While we had to pick a top 25, it was the hardest call we’ve had in the history of the competition, as we had so many high scoring pieces.
